Modified 4 clause BSD licenses can be non-OSI compliant. Why not to take the text of BSD license and explicitly mention the parts that were modified inside the COPYRIGHT.txt?

I can immediately see that the following points are not present in current license text:

2. Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.
3. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of this software
must display the following acknowledgement:
This product includes software developed by the <organization>.
4. Neither the name of the <organization> nor the
names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products
derived from this software without specific prior written permission.

It seems that the MIT license matches to the current text more appropriately.
